This is where you will find all of the information that will keep you up to date with our latest events!
Last Friday, Year 6 had a brilliant day visiting Birmingham Botanical Gardens. They learnt about how plants are adapted to survive in different environments and made art using natural materials.
Year 5 and 6 had a great time participating in an online Alice
in Wonderland dance workshop run by the Royal Opera
House. We were very pleased to welcome their film crew
who came up from London to interview some of our pupils.
Next week some of our staff are taking part in dance
training run by the Royal Opera House in preparation for a
city-wide dance project.
During the week beginning 28th February we will be celebrating World Book Day in school with a range of book related activities and events. For example throughout the week the children will be visiting Earlsdon library to share and read a range of books together. Alongside this we are inviting all children to take part in a bring and buy book sale. We will be encouraging all children to come to school with one or two preloved books that they are happy to donate as well as with 50p to spend. During the week the children will have an opportunity to purchase a preloved
book. The money raised will go towards replenishing the school books that have been lost during the course of the pandemic. You will receive more information about how your child can donate and purchase some preloved books.
In addition, we are inviting all children to come to school dressed as a word on Thursday 3rd March. Vocabulary is the focus of this day; rather than book characters or story characters we would love children to dress up as a word. For example, a child could dress up as an ‘aquarium’ and have fish attached to
them. Another child might want to be their favourite superhero and their word could be ‘strong’ or ‘heroic’. Other examples children have chosen in the past include dressing up as a ‘calculator’ and or as ‘illuminate’. We cannot wait to
see the children dressed up with their word attached to them.
Thank you for your ongoing support and for helping us celebrate World Book Day in school this year
We will be holding a bring and buy book sale during the week of World Book Day. To prepare for this exciting event we would love you to search through your unwanted children’s books and donate them to school by 18th February. We would like to be a book sale without books, so we will be relying on your able to offer books to all age groups so please hunt out
any books suitable for ages 4-11 years. Obviously, we can’t hold generosity to make this work. We will be offering each class an opportunity to visit the pre-loved book sale, please look at the timetable below to see when your child’s class will visit.
Each book bought will be 50p; a great way to encourage your child to read for pleasure and enjoyment without spending too many pennies!
The Year 2 children have had an exciting week as they have used their Tudor houses to turn the downstairs hall into a very large model of London in 1666! (Visit the gallery page for photo's and a short video clip.)
The ‘Peace and Reconciliation’ sculptures created by our Year 6 children are now on display in the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. Well done children– they look amazing!
We enjoy celebrating the children’s learning on a weekly basis on our school newsletters– we hope this is helpful for parents. To find out more information about the learning for the term, please visit the class pages of the school website.
We were very pleased to welcome an architect from RIBA back to Earlsdon to work with pupils in Year 2. The architect worked with the children to create the window display that one of our pupils designed last term. The Show Window will be installed in the window of Oodles, 28 The Burges, Coventry on 16th February and it will be in place for 6 weeks. If you get chance to visit it, please share your photos with us.
We are starting to see some children wearing sweatshirts and jogging bottoms/ leggings in a range of colours and with large logos. Please support us by ensuring that the children attend school wearing their P.E kit in school colours and without logos.
We do not want parents to incur additional costs when buying plain P.E clothing and would therefore like to offer a gentle reminder that school uniform t-shirts and sweatshirts/ cardigan are appropriate to wear on P.E days.
